Companion Carer Jobs in Annan

PrimeCarers is connecting experienced, self-employed companion carers with families across Annan and the surrounding parts of Dumfries and Galloway. This is companionship-focused work: regular conversation, outings, shared hobbies, short walks and light help around the home for people who mainly need company and reassurance. You choose the clients and the hours, and you’re free to focus on helping people stay connected and independent in their own homes.

Right now, 2 families are currently looking for care in the wider area.

If you’re used to agency caseloads but want fewer shift restrictions and more control, companionship care on PrimeCarers is designed for you. Typical days might include visiting for a couple of hours to help someone get out for a coffee, supporting a hobby afternoon, keeping company while a family member is away, or helping with small domestic tasks like making a drink, light tidying and prompting medication when asked. Annan clients often value a steady friendly face who brings calm and company more than clinical care.

Pay and flexibility are in your hands. Carers on PrimeCarers are self-employed: you set your own rate and can expect work around £19.20–£22 per hour depending on the service and client needs. You pick which clients to accept, the hours you work and the area you cover. PrimeCarers finds clients for you and handles contracts, invoicing and payments. Insurance is included while you’re working through the platform, so you can concentrate on care rather than admin.

To join you’ll need:

• At least 1 year of professional care experience
• An Enhanced DBS check (we can help arrange this)
• The right to work in the UK
• Verifiable references from recent care roles

Applying takes minutes and profiles typically go live within days of verification. Once your profile is active you can start choosing local bookings in Annan and nearby towns such as Gretna, Lockerbie, Silloth, Longtown, Lochmaben and Wigton.

This page advertises ongoing self-employed opportunities across Annan and Dumfries and Galloway — it is not a single advertised placement. If you want to move away from rota-driven agency work but keep doing the hands-on, people-focused side of care, PrimeCarers offers the freedom to make that change while keeping the paperwork and billing simple.
